"THE TALE OF GARDEN FLOWERS"

Slide 0

Author of the fairy tale and presentation IRINA VAZHENTSEVA “THE TALE OF GARDEN FLOWERS”

Slide 1

There were flowers growing in a flowerbed in a large, beautiful garden. There were a lot of them and they were all beautiful. First, spring primroses bloomed: snowdrops, tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, then they were replaced by others: bergenia, irises, peonies, petunias, daisies, roses, lilies. Flowers replaced each other until autumn.

Slide 2

They went deep into the ground, and then stems with leaves and buds, or just beautiful green leaves, appeared. All flowers loved to be looked after: watered, loosened the soil around the stems and removed weeds so as not to interfere with the flowers’ growth. They, like children, rejoiced at the warm rays of the sun and the cool streams of rain. One day, the flowers in the flowerbed argued among themselves which of them was the most beautiful, bright and attractive.

Slide 3

“I’m the most beautiful because I’m the first to appear in the flowerbed!” - said the snowdrop. - No! We, daffodils, are the most beautiful. We have thin green stems and leaves and beautiful yellow and white buds! “And I have the largest and most shiny leaves with purple flowers!” said the bergenia

Slide 4

- We, irises are even better and higher and have different shades and aromas, delicate and sweet. And bumblebees and bees love us! Text

Slide 5

- No, I am the best hosta, because I have a lot of beautiful leaves!

Slide 6

-Don't argue, friends! We, roses, are the most beautiful and slender. We have thin stems with carved leaves and thorns for protection from bullies. We have many shades and names. People love to make bouquets of us and give them to each other and we really like it. We feel needed and useful

Slide 7

-And we! And we are beautiful! The daisies and forget-me-nots started blaring vyingly.

Slide 8

“And we have the biggest buds!” the peonies said in unison. So the flowers argued until late in the evening. In the evening, everyone slowly began to close their buds and go to bed. “The morning is wiser than the evening!” said Badan and wished everyone good night. The night passed and a warm, sunny morning arrived. The flowers in the flowerbed again began to reach out to the warm rays of the sun and open their buds.

Slide 9

— The bumblebee was the first to appear. He carefully lowered himself onto the peony and began collecting pollen. “Hello, Mr. Bumblebee!” said the peony with respect. -Tell me, please, did you come to me for pollen, because I am the most beautiful in the flowerbed? Bumblebee froze in thought. - Please don’t distract me, the heat will soon come and it will be difficult for me to fly. The bumblebee collected the remaining pollen and flew away, saying goodbye.

Slide 10

Then a lemongrass butterfly flew in and landed on a lily bud. ABOUT! The most beautiful of butterflies! - the rose turned to her. Could you help us with one question?

Slide 11

- Yes, yes, I’m listening to you. -My friends and I argued which of the flowers in our flowerbed was the most beautiful, slender and attractive. The butterfly folded its wings and raised its antennae upward. For me, you are all beautiful and attractive, you are all very pleasant to me, because I can sit down and relax with each of you.

Slide 12

-Who do you like the most? - I can’t answer you, all flowers are amazing and good in their own way. Well, I have to go, my friends are waiting for me in the meadow. Goodbye, dear flowers. The butterfly fluttered, flapped its wings and flew away.

Slide 13

After some time, the buzzing bee sat down on the rose. “Hello, bee!” the daisies began to shout. Tell me, which of us flowers in this flowerbed is the most beautiful? “The most beautiful one,” answered Zhuzha. Who does not boast or imagine, but, on the contrary, gives his beauty and scents to everyone around him. Zhuzha finished the nectar and said goodbye to everyone and flew to a nearby flowerbed. The flowers fell silent and thought.

Slide 14

At this time the gardener came into the garden. She walked up to the flowerbed and said hello to the flowers. - Hello, my beautiful and wonderful flowers with wonderful scents! Now I will remove the weeds that have appeared and water the flowerbed with cool water so that you can become even better.

Slide 15

When the flowers heard these words, they felt ashamed of each other and fell silent for a while. Then the peony and rose suggested that everyone make peace, because they are friends and they all grow in the same flower bed, giving their beauty and benefits to people and insects. So the flowers grew together until Autumn and no longer argued about which of them was the best.

Slide 16

Presentation on the theme of flowers in the garden. Presentation on the topic “garden flowers”. Getting to know your surroundings

This presentation is addressed to primary school teachers and preschool teachers, or more precisely, to their students.

The presentation is aimed at ages 5-7 years inclusive. She is an excellent assistant in conducting educational activities to form a holistic picture of the world, environmental ideas, and speech development. It is no secret that children at this age are very difficult to motivate for any activity, but the topic of ecology and everything connected with it causes boredom in many children.

This presentation allows you to unobtrusively introduce schoolchildren and preschoolers to the world of nature with the help of a game moment, in the form of a journey with a cartoon character, remember the names of garden and forest flowers with the help of answers to riddles, and also learn to distinguish between garden and forest flowers using the interactive slide included into a general presentation to test knowledge and consolidate what has been previously learned. In addition, this presentation includes a legend about the beauty of the soul, which is no less important for educating a child’s spiritual world. The presentation consists of 10 slides, including the title page, is equipped with musical accompaniment, and is fully animated, which additionally arouses keen interest in the child.

The transition from slide to slide is carried out using a mouse click; when the child answers the riddles, just click the mouse and the answer will be given, that is, a flower in an animated form will immediately appear as if by magic. I hope that you will like this work and will help other teachers and educators in their work in the future. I wish you pleasant viewing!

Rhizomatous and tuberous perennials from 10 cm to 100 cm tall. Leaves are palmately dissected or divided. Flowers solitary or in few-flowered umbels. Stamens and pistils are numerous. The colors of the flowers are bright, white, pink, red, blue, indigo or yellow. They usually bloom in early spring, some species in summer, others in autumn. The fruit is a multi-nut with a short spout. Anemones interested flower growers back in the Middle Ages with their grace, tenderness, and responsiveness during cultivation. Most of them bloom in early spring, when a period of warmth and light sets in after a long, dark winter, and people are missing flowers.

Slide 8

Periwinkle (VINCA) family. Kutrovye

Slide 9

The ancient Latin name for this plant, "vinca" means to entwine. Like the fragrant violet, it is the first to bloom in the spring, but few people pay attention to it. According to legend, he complained about his fate to the goddess Flora, and she gave him flowers larger and a life longer than that of a violet, and gave the modest messenger of spring the name Pervinka (victorious). The unfading plant has long been attributed special magical powers. In Austria and Germany, periwinkle wreaths were used for fortune telling for marriage; hung above the windows, they protected the house from lightning strikes. Flowers collected between the Dormition and the Nativity of the Virgin Mary had the property of driving away all evil spirits: they were worn on oneself or hung over the front door. In the Middle Ages, in court, periwinkle was used to check whether the accused had a connection with the devil. The periwinkle owes all these magical properties to its amazing vitality - it lives as long as there is even a drop of water left in the vase, and if you take it out of the vase and stick it in the ground, it will quickly take root.

Slide 10

HYACINTHUS fam. Hyacinthaceae

Slide 11

Named after the beautiful mythological youth - Hyacinth. There are different views on the taxonomy of the genus. According to some researchers, it has up to 30 species, others consider it monotypic, i.e. with one species, but which has a large number of varieties and forms. Grows wildly in the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean and Central Asia. The hyacinth bulb, unlike the tulip, which grows a new replacement bulb every year, is perennial and should be handled very carefully. In the center of the bottom there is a renewal bud containing the rudiments of leaves and flowers. In 1543, bulbs from Asia Minor were brought to Northern Italy, to the then famous Botanical Garden (Orto Botanico) of Padua.

Slide 12

IRIS, or IRIS family. Irmaaceae

Slide 15

The name was given by Hippocrates, “iris” translated from ancient Greek means rainbow. The variety and richness of colors of the flowers of these plants is rightfully compared to the most beautiful natural phenomenon. In Greek mythology, this was the name of the goddess who descended from Olympus to Earth to announce to people the will of the gods. According to legend, the first iris flower bloomed in ancient times in southeast Asia; everyone admired its beauty - animals, birds, waters, winds - and when its seeds ripened, they spread them all over the world. The Romans gave one of the cities the name Florence (Blooming) only because its surroundings were strewn with irises. Irises were revered in Arabia and Ancient Egypt, where they were bred in the 15th-14th centuries BC. e.; In Japan, magical amulets were made from irises and oranges for boys, protecting them from diseases and instilling courage. Irises have been cultivated for more than two thousand years; they are valued not only for the beauty and aroma of flowers, but also for the aroma of the root (extracts from it are used in the perfume industry, in the manufacture of wine, vodka and confectionery). The roots of the Djungarian iris are used for tanning leather, and ropes and mats are woven from the leaves.

Slide 16

They say that there is no better gift than one made with your own hands. The same thing, to paraphrase somewhat, can be said about flowers. Imagine decorating your home with flowers that you grew yourself. Or give them to your closest people, to whom such a gift will be doubly dear and pleasant.

Over the centuries, calendula has been used by such luminaries as the Roman physician Galen (there is still the term “galenic preparations” in medicine), Abu Ali Ibn Sina (Avicenna), the Armenian physician Amirovlad Amasiatsi (15th century) and the famous herbalist Nicholas Culpeper. Calendula was used not only as a medicine, but also as a vegetable. In the Middle Ages, it was added to soup, oatmeal was cooked with it, dumplings, puddings and wine were made. For a long time it was considered a “spice for the poor”: calendula was widely available and, replacing saffron, it perfectly tinted dishes yellow-orange, giving them a unique tart taste, which was greatly appreciated not only by the poor, but also by rich gourmets. Due to its benefits, calendula was very popular in European gardens. It was the favorite flower of the Queen of Navarre, Margaret of Valois.

The second word of the name - poeticus (poetic) is due to the fact that it was so sung by poets of all countries and centuries, like no other plant, except perhaps the rose. The narcissist plays a significant role in the Muslim tradition. Mohammed said about the flower: “Whoever has two loaves of bread, let him sell one to buy a narcissus flower, for bread is food for the body, and narcissus is food for the soul.” In Ancient Greece, the perception of the narcissist was completely different. There his image acquired the symbolic meaning of a narcissistic person.

However, the birthplace of sunflowers, as well as corn, potatoes, tomatoes and tobacco, is America. This plant has not been found in the wild outside the New World. The name comes from a combination of two Greek words “helios” - sun and “anthos” - flower. This name was not given to it by chance. Huge sunflower inflorescences, bordered by bright radiant petals, really resemble the sun. In addition, this plant has the unique ability to turn its head after the sun, tracing its entire path from sunrise to sunset. Use for group plantings, mixborders, cutting. For tall hedges, tall varieties are planted in the background, and bushy, low-growing varieties are planted in the foreground. The “kids” will hide the lower “ankle” part of the giant stems.

Yes, right. Wildlife is... birds, insects, domestic and wild animals, fish, trees, mushrooms and... FLOWERS (the teacher transforms, putting on a wreath of flowers and a cape). I am the Flower Fairy. I invite you guys to my Flower Kingdom.

(4 SLIDE)

You and I have found ourselves in the flower kingdom, in which HOUSEPLANTS, WILD and GARDEN flowers live. In our fairy tale, flowers do not fade, but in life everything is different.

(5 SLIDE)

Flowers live a long life. From SEED to flower. In the ground, the seeds germinate, they develop ROOTS and STEMLS, LEAVES and buds, and then the BUD blossoms, turning into a wonderful FLOWER.

(6 SLIDE)

INDOORS flowers live for a very long time. But they are not eternal either, because... it is part of living nature. Indoor flowers need care. How does a person care for indoor flowers? (Children's answers)

(7 SLIDE)

That's right, guys. The flowers are watered, sprayed, loosened, fertilized, and the leaves are wiped. With indoor flowers, beauty, comfort and fresh air come to homes and other rooms.

(8 SLIDE)

Now let's look at other inhabitants of the flower kingdom. These are GARDEN flowers. They bloom every year, they need care, they need to be watered and fed.

(9 SLIDE)

Garden flowers are looked after by people whose profession is called a GARDENER or FLOWER. (You can say these words with the children)

(10 SLIDE)

But WILD flowers are the most unpretentious inhabitants of the flower kingdom. In order for them to grow and please people, they need EARTH, SUN and RAIN.

(11 SLIDE)

The main thing is that people do not DESTROY nature - DO NOT PICK flowers, DO NOT START FIRES, DO NOT CUT FORESTS.

Legends about flowers

Slide 2

There are many legends about the appearance of flowers on our planet. Here's what one of them says. In ancient times, Mother Earth lay in darkness and cold. And one day Yarilo (among the ancient Slavs the god of the sun, spring and fertility) pierced the layers of darkness over the sleeping Earth with the flame of his gaze. The Red Sun immediately shone, giving light and warmth to the awakening planet. She greedily drank the generous rays of the sun, basked in her youthful beauty, gaining life-giving strength to the brim. Then Yarilo said, his wise eyes brightening: “Oh, you are the one, Mother of Cheese Earth! Love me, God of light. For your love, I will decorate you with blue seas, yellow sands, blue rivers, silver lakes, green grass, scarlet, azure flowers...” That’s how flowers came to Earth. Since then, every spring Yarilo awakens from his winter sleep, mounts his horses and decorates Mother Cheese Earth with flowers.

Water Lily This story happened in ancient Italy. Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful Melinda. And the swamp king was watching her all the time. The king's eyes twinkled when he looked at the beautiful girl, and although he was scary as hell, he nevertheless became Melinda's husband, and the yellow egg capsule, which has long symbolized betrayal and deceit, helped him get the beauty. Walking with her friends near a swampy lake, Melinda admired the golden floating flowers, reached for one of them, stepped on a coastal stump in which the ruler of the bog was hiding, and he carried the girl to the bottom. At the site of her death, snow-white flowers with a yellow core emerged. These flowers turned out to be water lilies.

Slide 4

CAMELLIA The legend tells: somehow, Cupid was so successful in his affairs that not a single person was left unhit by his arrows. There was nothing more to do on earth, and Cupid went to Saturn. There he saw beautiful ice women. The entire quiver discharged into them, but not a single woman even raised an eyebrow... The offended Cupid descended to the ground, and - lo and behold: all the ice women came down after him and turned into camellia flowers. Beautiful and fearless.

Slide 5

Ivan-tea Once upon a time there lived a boy named Ivan in a Russian area. He loved to wear a red shirt and spent most of his time at the edge of the forest among flowers and bushes. And the villagers, who saw the red color among the greenery, said: “Yes, it’s Ivan, tea, walking.” And they got so used to it that they didn’t notice Ivan’s absence in the village and began to say: “Yes, it’s Ivan, tea!” - at the scarlet flowers that suddenly appeared near the outskirts. And so the name Ivan-tea stuck to the new plant.

Slide 6

Immortelle According to Indian legend, the immortelle was born in the following way: a guy and a girl got married in the same village. Going after the wedding from the wigwam of the bride's father to her husband's parents, the newlyweds met wild animals, which immediately tore them to pieces. Residents buried the newlyweds on the river bank. And in the spring, a light lilac flower suddenly appeared at the place of their burial. The hunter, passing by him, exclaimed touchingly: “Live forever!”, and nature accepted the good wish.

Slide 7

Rose It is believed that roses are the first plants introduced into crops for their flowers, perhaps due to the ease with which they produce double forms. No other plant's flowers aroused such admiration among people for their beauty and aroma and did not awaken such inspiration among people of art. In ancient Persia, poets never tired of singing the rose. According to Persian legends, it was a gift from Allah himself. One day all the flowers came to him with a request to appoint a new ruler instead of the sleepy lotus - although he was beautiful, he often forgot about his duties. Allah heeded their request and appointed a white rose with sharp thorns guarding it as ruler. The nightingale, seeing the new queen of flowers, was fascinated by her beauty and in delight pressed the rose to his chest. But sharp thorns pierced his heart, and scarlet blood, splashing from the unfortunate man’s chest, watered the delicate petals of the wondrous flower. To this day, the outer petals of many roses retain their pink tint.

Slide 8

Jasmine The first mention of fragrant jasmine was found in ancient Egyptian papyri. The Hellenes believed that jasmine was given to people by the goddess of wisdom Athena.

Filipinos greet their dear guests with garlands of white fragrant flowers; wreaths and sampaguita necklaces are placed on their heads and necks. Sampaguita is used in various cultural and religious ceremonies. Sampaguita is considered the flower of purity, fidelity and love.

Lily of the valley Lily of the valley is compared to tears and an old legend says that this wonderful flower grew from tears that fell to the ground. The subtle aroma of lily of the valley attracts bees and bumblebees, which contribute to the pollination of flowers, after which green berries develop, and when ripe, orange-red berries. A poetic legend is dedicated to them: once upon a time, a long time ago, Lily of the Valley fell in love with the beautiful Spring and, when she left, he mourned her with such burning tears that the blood came out of his heart and colored his tears. The lily of the valley in love endured his grief as silently as he carried the joy of love.

Slide 10

Dahlia There is a legend among the people according to which this beautiful flower owes its name to the young gardener George. In ancient times, the dahlia was a royal flower and could only grow in the palace garden. And he would have remained a royal prisoner if not for the gardener George... Despite the severe ban, the gardener gave this flower to his bride, and then planted the same flower near her house. Having learned about this, the king ordered the gardener to be thrown into prison, where he died. But the royal flower had already broken free and became popular among the people. In honor of the young gardener George, who gave his life for his freedom, the flower was named dahlia. Now they are known in almost all countries of the world.

Carnation Legend tells that one day the goddess Diana, returning very irritated from an unsuccessful hunt, met a handsome shepherd at the edge of the forest, who was cheerfully playing the pipe. In anger, she blamed the shepherdess for her failure and the fact that because of him and his music, all the game ran away and the hunt was ruined. The poor young man made excuses, swore that he was not guilty of anything and begged for mercy. But the goddess, not hearing anything, and, not remembering herself with rage, attacked the shepherd and tore out his eyes. When she came to her senses, remorse began to torment her, but she was no longer able to correct what she had done. Then, in order to at least a little make amends and perpetuate the memory of the young man, Diana cast her eyes on the path. And at the same moment, two carnations grew out of them, their color reminiscent of innocently shed blood.

Slide 14

The curious flocked to the military spectacle. Trumpets sounded, calling the brave to battle, but Saint and Teres stuck their swords into the ground and rushed to each other with open arms. They were put to death. But as soon as their bodies touched the ground, tall, beautiful flowers bloomed from the hilts of their swords. In honor of the noble gladiators they were called gladioli. And to this day they are a symbol of fidelity, nobility, and memory.

Slide 16

Pan decided to speak to Syringa, but she got scared and ran away. Pan ran after her, wanting to calm her down, but the nymph suddenly turned into a fragrant bush with delicate lilac flowers. Pan cried inconsolably near the bush and from then on became sad, walking through the forest thickets alone, trying to do good to everyone. So the name Syringa became the Latin name for lilac.

Slide 17

PEONY It is believed that the scientific name of peony, or peon, peonia, goes back to the Hellenic deity Paean. In pre-Homeric times, Paean was revered as the omnipotent averter of evil.

Zeus fell in love with the beautiful Io and, in order to hide her from his wife, turned her into a cow. They say that these flowers were grown by Jupiter as tasty food for this unfortunate woman, in order to somewhat soften her bitter fate; and therefore, probably, they were also called in ancient Greece the flowers of Jupiter. In the Middle Ages, the viola served as a symbol of fidelity for lovers and it was customary to give each other their portraits, placed in an enlarged image of this flower.

Slide 19

CHRYSANTHEMUM The Japanese have long celebrated the holiday of chrysanthemums, because... The legend about the origin of Japan is also connected with the magical properties of the flower.

Slide 22

IRIS According to legend, the first iris bloomed several million years ago on the edge of subtropical forests in Southeast Asia. It was so beautiful that not only all the animals, birds and insects gathered to admire it, but even water and wind, which then spread the ripened seeds of the flower throughout the globe. And when the seeds sprouted and blossomed, iris flowers became one of man’s favorite plants. Florence was called Florence by the Romans only because irises grew in abundance around this Etruscan settlement, and the literal translation from Latin into Russian “Florence” means “blooming”. Even in ancient times, Arabs planted wild iris with white flowers on graves.

Slide 23

Chamomile (common cornflower) Daisies are similar in shape to umbrellas, and according to legend, in ancient times they were umbrellas for little gnomes. When it starts to rain in the steppe, the gnome will cover himself with a chamomile or pick it and walk across the steppe, raising the flower above his head. The rain knocks on the chamomile umbrella, flows off it in streams, and the gnome remains completely dry. And daisies look like surprised eyes. If you go out into the meadow on a dry, windy day and listen carefully, you can hear a quiet rustle—the rustle of white chamomile eyelashes. The surprised eyes of the daisy look at the sky, trying to understand the movements of clouds, stars and planets.

Slide 24

Astra If you have ever looked at a silvery star for a long time, you have probably noticed that the star is not just a luminous point, it emits either blue, then white, or pink light. As if calling someone, sending signals.

Slide 26

There is a very beautiful legend about the origin of this small white or pinkish flower, which forms beautiful borders in our flower beds and beautiful groups on the green lawn. They say that the Most Holy Theotokos, wishing one winter to please little Jesus and give him a wreath of flowers, not finding any in the cold-beaten fields, decided to make them herself artificially from silk. And so, making various flowers, she made some that especially pleased the baby Jesus. These were small daisies made from yellow silk material and thick white threads. While preparing them, the Most Holy Theotokos more than once pricked her fingers with a needle, and drops of her blood stained these threads in places with a reddish or pinkish color. That is why, in addition to white petals, there are also pinkish ones and on the underside they are often colored red. Baby Jesus liked these flowers so much that he kept them all winter like a jewel, and when spring came, he planted them in the valley of Nazareth and began to water them. And suddenly these artificial flowers came to life, took root, began to grow and, growing more and more, moving from one country to another, soon spread throughout the entire earth. And now, as if in memory of this miracle, these lovely flowers bloom from early spring until late autumn, and there is no country in the world where they cannot be found.

Slide 27

Primrose Primroses, or primroses (from the Latin “primus” - “first”), have long been known to people, as evidenced by numerous legends and tales.

The ancient Scandinavians considered primroses to be the keys of Freya's spring. The ancient Greeks called primrose the flower of the twelve gods. According to medieval legend, primroses are nothing more than the keys to the gates of heaven, which accidentally fell from the hands of the watchman, the Apostle Peter, who had dozed off in heaven. Peter rushed to catch them, but it was too late: the keys fell to the ground, and primroses grew from them.

In ancient Greek mythology, the lotus was the emblem of the goddess of beauty Aphrodite. In ancient Greece, stories were common about people eating lotuses - “lotophagi”, or “lotus eaters”. According to legend, anyone who tastes lotus flowers will never want to be with the homeland of this plant. For many peoples, the lotus symbolized fertility, health, prosperity, longevity, purity, spirituality, hardness and the sun. In the East, this plant is still considered a symbol of perfect beauty. In Assyrian and Phoenician cultures, the lotus symbolized death, but at the same time rebirth and future life. For the Chinese, the lotus personified the past, present and future, since each plant simultaneously has buds, flowers and seeds.

Poppy When the first people appeared on earth, nature made sure that they not only hunted and worked, but also rested peacefully. Nature gave people the night to relax. The night hid the surrounding world from people, so that people would not see anything and sleep peacefully. However, despite this, people continued to stay awake at night. Night, feeling powerless, wrapped her head in fog and cried little by little, and dew appeared on the ground from her tears. Seeing the saddened night, nature took pity on her and sent her husband a dream: together with her husband, nature thought, it would be easier for the night to calm people down and make them sleep... Indeed, it became easier for the night and sleep to cope with people, but not everyone obeyed them. Then nature made sure that night and sleep had children - dreams that could distract people and make them forget. And yet, neither night, nor sleep, nor dreams could completely lull the preoccupied person to sleep. The dream became angry at his own weakness, stuck the royal rod into the ground and flew away. Dreams enveloped the rod in dreams, the night breathed life into it, and the rod took root, turned green and opened with beautiful flowers. This is how the poppy appeared on earth.

The girl looked into the distance of the sea with eyes full of love, a light breeze swayed the curls of her shiny hair, and the beauty’s narrow eyebrows arched, giving her face an expression of hidden melancholy. But then the girl perked up, her eyes shone: on the iridescent waves she saw a dolphin: in his mouth he was holding a delicate flower emitting an azure light.
